Let b be the initial amount of books. Steve sells half of his books, so the number of Steve's books become

Then, he buys 6 more, so the number increases by 6:

This number is now 14, so you have

Subtract 6 from both sides:

Multiply both sides by 2:

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance is always positive and is same as the absolute value of subtraction of the two numbers on the line.
<u>This can be shown as:</u>
- |-3/2 - 6| =
- |-1.5 - 6| =
- |-7.5| =
- 7.5
or
- | 6 - (-3/2)| =
- |6 + 1.5| =
- |7.5| =
- 7.5
We have that
x²<span>-6x+7=0
</span>Group terms that contain the same variable
(x²-6x)+7=0
Complete the square Remember to balance the equation
(x²-6x+9-9)+7=0
Rewrite as perfect squares
(x-3)²+7-9=0
(x-3)²-2=0
(x-3)²=2
(x-3)=(+/-)√2
x=(+/-)√2+3
the solutions are
x=√2+3
x=-√2+3
Answer: ∞
Step-by-step explanation: First, find the indefinite integral F (x), and then evaluate F (∞)–F(– ∞).
